Doggie therapy is the best. I hope she feels better soon.

> By the way, it looks like an electric razor or some other electrical device to me. But then again, it flashes so quickly, it's hard to see.
hi, gg, that's strange..on my computer, it doesn't flash real quick...i see him holding a gun to his head *very* clearly..there's no mistaking it..i am really concerned that dr. bob might do something...

In reply to Bob - Horrifying picture animation!!!, posted by TofuEmmy on September 8, 2004, at 13:43:04
It looks to me like a pile of books are hitting Dr. Bob under the chin. I bet if we saw the whole picture rather than this close-of up the books hitting him and quickly knocking his head to the side, it would make sense to us. As it plays now, though, it lends itself to too much misinterpretation. My guess is that the effect was unintended but I think it should be replaced ASAP!!!

just looked at it again (my heart drops every time i see it). whether it's an actual gun or not, i don't know, but i think dr. bob definitely meant for it to look like one...there really is no other interpretation for this..i am really a bit freaked, here...
i don't think people make jokes like this unless there's a reason behind it...

He has seemed in fine fettle in recent posts and emails. No reason to think that's changed.
I've emailed him asking him to come here and clear things up, just in case he checks his emails before he checks this board.

It flashes for a bit, but when it stops flashing, it's on the 'bad' picture. I really can't see what the black object is, with any certainty, but gosh darn it looks like the handle of a knife.

It's hard to comment on it with the flashes I've seen.

I'm at home at I don't get the flashing bad photo anymore. Did he fix it or am I just lucky?

yeah, it's either a knife or a gun..whatever it is, it's some kind of weapon..the message is the same...it's meant as a suicide gesture, this is clear..

Thanks, and I'm grateful for whatever my eMac is doing to prevent me from seeing it again (shudder).

It stops flashing after about 5 times until you refresh the page. Then it's back.
This is really disturbing. I actually leaped back in my chair.
Maybe someone hacked the file and threw this in.

I saw it when I reloaded the page. It looks like a couple of books are hitting him in the neck, but it doesn't look like a suicide image to me.

I looked at it and I had my husband look at it (without telling him what it was first). We both saw a book, maybe a date book, and papers.
Much easier to see when it's not flashing.

The image that looked to me like a man with a gun to his throat was stuck on my computer for a good 10 minutes. No flashes, no gee he didn't mean it. Yeah, I don't watch the news because I trust shrub to lead us honestly and I have more important things to do. I know shrub the awol liar will take good care of us. And 20 years from now I can say I've found great wisdom in the writings of people who were slaughtered while I wasn't watching the news. Vote people! Be informed. Watch the gd news. The world isn't safe and it won't be until we take the time to MAKE IT SAFE. Trust less, think more.

whether or not it was paperwork, **it was meant to look like a weapon**. there was nothing silly about that image! the implied meaning is the same..that picture represented a suicide gesture! i have had enough of your games, dr. bob..i am astounded at your "sillyness"! you seriously need some emotional help...

There have already been at least 3 different interpretations of what was on that image posted here, knives, a gun, a razor - I really don't think there was a purpose behind it. Interesting what people saw in that flash, actually.
